Docteur Óttar Proppé
Agathe despacha a un seductor del tres al cuarto con un aplomo desconcertante bajo el cual, sin embargo, se adivina cierta fragilidad. Samir, que observa la escena tímidamente desde un rincón del café, se queda maravillado. En un momento, este joven amable y alelado con una mirada de una candidez desarmante, se enamora perdidamente de ella. Sin dudar ni un segundo, el joven compra un abono trimestral en la piscina municipal en la que Agathe da clases, rodeada por una curiosa tropa de empleados municipales. Cuando Agathe vuelve a marcharse para participar en un congreso internacional de monitores de natación, Samir hace la maleta inmediatamente.
Screenplay
In the late fifties Iceland was isolated and backwards. Industrialisation had really just begun and the country was taking it’s first steps towards the ultra-modern society we know today. The US military set up a base next to the sleepy fishing village of Keflavik on the south coast turning everything on it’s head. The Americans outnumbered the locals three to one. Culturally it was as if a UFO had landed. The young people were more open to cultural influences than the older generation and this triggered a rock and roll explosion which then swept the rest of the country. It was the birth of Icelandic teenage culture. Because of Iceland’s location right between America and Europe the cultural influences mixed to produce an unique blend.
A documentary following the life of Barði Jóhannsson and his band Bang Gang while they record their new album, but not everything is at seems to be.
Screenplay
To start with we are led to believe the setting is a country-hotel of some sort. In the end we discover this is a State Rehabilitation Facility and everything that happens is a carefully orchestrated escape plot by some of the inmates. The film was shot on location at an isolated boarding school in Saelingsdalur in the west of Iceland. The school is used as a hotel during the summer months but the film takes place in the wintertime.
